Following nrc the leading topics of
John O. Woolley's address;
"The Islands arc olcanlc politically
as well as geologically, and growth by
eruption Is u hafillng method of devel
opment. Christianity or conization,
which Is tho same thing, dropped smU
denly upon these barbarous Islands,
out of tho sky as It seemed to tho na
tives, but, wo know, out of Now Dcd
ford, with tho doctrlno of Inherited
total depravity taught by uncompro
mising Ushers of men, vlth an Inflex
ible theology administered from an of
fice In Iloston, set en months sail from
the scene of action, nnd on the othor
hand, new possibilities, Illustrated by
certain Jovial and irresponsible fishers
of whales.
"The fishers of whales wero not tho
best of men, but they wero good mix
ers. They married native wives and
founded, or, at knst, dls'semlnnted
families. Tho Ushers of men wero
families, Irtuons, detached, sovero,
that loved tho natives wisely' but rfot
well enough oven to let their children
play with thorn. Whllo tho Illblo hud
to bo translated In order for tho mis
sionaries to perform their high and
wholesomo errand, the bottle was enBy
reading In tho original, and Immed
iately br might Into compact working
union, tho weak1 and vicious elements
of tho beach.
"Then followed convulsion after
convulsion, until Annexation at one
of tho darkest hours In our history In
stalled American commercialism, without-tho
clear necessity of social strug-
lo, existing on tho continent, and re
duced all political problems to a stud
of sugar and whisky, tho natives hav
ing tho votes and tho whites paving
tno money.
"In Hawaii casto exists. Tho whites
iro dominant, but divided sharply by
Supcrlolatry and Ishmaoltry, Tho na
tlvcs, trained to bo led by tho chiefs
and tho missionaries, and then uban
Uoncd by tho American Hoard, are
held to Impossible, standards by tho
better class of tho white people an to
clean, efficient. Independent citizen

training and exploitation of tho ratti
est lot of demagogues I havo oer
seen succeed. Tho Orientals drive out.
nnd keep out tho hard headed, hard
hunded American farmer and me
chanic, tho good yeaBt of social fer
ment In any community. Tho mighty
opportunity of education, given to
masters and mistresses, In tho cm-
plojment of laborers that demand nnd
command decent respect and gentle
manners. In business Intercourse, is
almost wholly missing.
"I immediately Bought tho acquaint
ance of tho commissioners and am
glad to gUo my testimony to their
high average quality of men and as
officials.
"Thero aro over fifty licensed liquor
shops In Oahu now. I think thero can
ho no Justification for even half that
number, nor any explanation of their
existence, bovo a very hazy apprehen
sion by tho commission as to what it
Is hero for. Tho population Is below
x hundred thousand; eighty thousand
ire women and children. Not over ten
thousand patronlzo tho bars becauso
they feel tho need to do It, or any
Jtrong Inclination to do it. Halt tho
patrons of tho saloon go there because
jhey havo boon Invited nnd treated
and then becauso they think thoy
ought, In turn, to Invito nnd trcjt, or
simply becauso tho placo is open and
thoy havo tlmo on their hands,

"Tho present law ought to bo

"I or go j on to loso no tlmo In get
ting to work at tho practical details of
the present campaign. Tho liquor
forces aro nlrcady organizing a cam
paign of education In tho Interest of
thnt ought not to bo criticized, nor
that ought not to bo criticized, but
hindered. It Is well within their un
doubted rlkhtB as citizens, and really
In our Interest; for the absurdity of
educating the people to drink alco
holic bovcroges Is so manifest that a
wayfaring man though an awful foot,
and drunk, can sco It ns ho staggers
homo from that school,
"Hut It must bo met with Blmplo,
truthful, respectful teaching of sci
ence, religion nnd tho observation of
common life. Thero can bo no uncer
tainty na to tho outcome of that com
petition. "This Territory Is not ct ready for
tho Issuo, put so broadly and far-
reachlngly. Tho present purposo and
business of tho Anti-Saloon League Is
simply to help tho people to take back
Into their own hands the power to say
whether thoy desire that tho liquor
traffic bo carrlod on In tho precincts
where thoy have their homes, it Is
conceivable that thoy may all vote
'Yes' to the saloon. Should they do
so, they will but exercise tho right of
free men, nnd tho league can not com
plain. In that caso wo simply go on,
kindly, faithfully, persistently, hope
fully teaching, with a firm grip on tho
old scripture. 'Tho righteous shall
hold on his way ami tho hands that
aro clean shall grow stronger and

Guild disbanded, we deslro to thank
vou both for tho ablo leadership with

clslon before he ascertains moro def
initely what public opinion Is.
Tho Sheriff returned this morning
from Kona, where ho ent for tho ben
efit of his health. Ho has therefore,
been out of touch, with tho situation
whlph has arisen slnco his departure
from Honolulu, but this morning he
was Informod of tho petition ot tho
Civic Federation that Iwllel be closed
and that tho laws on tho subject o(
public morals bo strictly enforced. It
Is safe to say that the pollco depart'
ment feols that tho present method ot
dealing with tho situation Is tho most
practical and will produce tho host re
sults In the long run, but on tho other
hand It will take action If public opin
ion should demand It.
"I novo not decided on whethor 1
will close Iwllel or not," sold the Sher
iff this afternoon. "I think It best to
go slow about tho matter, I shall not
maka my doclston bofora I have
loarned moro definitely what tho pub
lic opinion really Is, I believe that
tho discussion which Is now being
stnrtcd on the subject will probab!;'
hrlntr our citizens to express them
selves moro openly on tho proposition
than they havo dono heretofore. Of
course we can closo iwllel witnm
twenty-four hours If wo decldo to do
so, but the question Is whether this
would bo a wise policy nnd whether
tho public at largo really wants this
dono."
